Favre takes blame for Packers split

Retired quarterback says he would have done things differently

Brett Favre is taking the blame for his messy break up with the Green Bay Packers.

In an interview on WGR 550-AM radio in Buffalo, New York, Favre said, "It's over and done with. I was at fault, I feel that both sides had a part in it. If you could go back, would I or them have done things differently? I'm sure both sides would. But you can't."

The legendary quarterback wen on to say, "Really, I don't hold any regrets. I know I gave it my all. (I) had 16 great wonderful years in Green Bay. It happened. It's over and done with. I think things will be fine in due time."

The Packers traded Favre to the New York Jets in the summer of 2008 after he tried to return to the team after retiring earlier in the year.

Green Bay at that point had already decided to move forward with Aaron Rodgers.

Favre played for the Jets for one season before moving on to the Packers NFC North rivals, the Minnesota Vikings.

The former and current Packers quarterbacks appeared together on stage in February at the NFL Honors show.

That was the first time Favre and Rodgers had been seen together in public since the 2007 season.

Also during the interview, the future Hall of Fame quarterback credited Packers president Mark Murphy for saving his relationship with Rodgers and the organization.
